Dear Lawrence Elbaum:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. In some of
our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand
yourdisclosure.
Please respond to these comments by providing the requested information or advise
us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our comments apply to
your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
PRE14A filed January 21, 2025
Proposal 1, page 2
1.We note your statement that "key substantive rights of shareholders, including the
right to call a special meeting" are discussed in the shareholder rights comparison
chart. However, the summary chart starting on page 8 of the Proxy Statement does not
appear to discuss shareholders' ability to call a special meeting. Please add such
discussion or remove the implication that such discussion is included in the summary
comparison chart.
2.Here and later in the proxy statement, including "Principal Reasons for the
Reincorporation," you list multiple effects of the proposed reincorporation, including
that the Company will adopt "proxy access" and a majority voting standard for
uncontested director elections. Please revise to clarify whether these corporate
governance changes could be effected without the reincorporation into Delaware.

3.Please revise to reflect the filing of soliciting materials by Alta Fox Opportunity Fund,
LP and to provide any additional information required by Schedule 14A for contested
solicitations. Your revised preliminary proxy materials should provide appropriate
background regarding the Company's interactions with Alta Fox, including the parties'
interactions regarding the senior secured convertible notes sold to Alta Fox and the
dispute over their conversion.
We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy
of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by
the staff.
Please direct any questions to Laura McKenzie at 202-551-4568 or Christina Chalk at
